The Tangential Dialogue Between Science and Medicine : A Case in Point

Published by Elsevier Inc..

The road between a hypothesis about a disease or condition and its cure or palliation is never simply linear. There are many tantalizing tangents to be chased and many seemingly obvious truths with countless exceptions; this is usually a feature, not a bug, as they say in computer programming. In the tangents and exceptions are clues and alternative roads to science and medicine that can provide cures and palliative measures, sometimes for diseases or conditions other than the one being studied. The narrative that follows uses the author's scientific experience in childhood nervous system cancer to illustrate the importance of a robust, bidirectional interaction between the laboratory bench and the clinic bedside in the quest for solutions to problems of health, longevity, and quality of life.
